<p>This might sound a bit dramatic but my Livescribe pen saved my life. This weekend, I managed to lose my whole notebook for the one class in which I have a cumulative final, but since I’ve recorded the lectures and uploaded my notes to the computer I can still access them. 100 dollars is quite a bit to dish out for a pen and I was skeptical when I got mine for a graduation present, but it’s definitely very useful.</p>
